We're not there yet. To me the obvious would be to explain to them something like browsing the internet is similar to being alone in the world's biggest city and you cannot always be there to protect them whilst online?

I am definitely over simplifying it, but I feel portraying the message that there are good people, bad people and absolutely abhorrent people, is all you can do to protect kids online. Also that everyone takes a big step to the dark side when they are anonymous because for some reason, watching a train crash is more interesting to us that watching one drive past.

I never really thought about controlling screen times for anything other than to make sure kids' heads spend some time in reality, do you feel it is an effective or important tool for protection too?
